| Your vote: Most Useless Audio Adjective Easy..."minty" I will not purchase anything described as "minty" on general principle. It sounds like a word an interior designer would use to describe the Mojito he just shared with his fashionista hair designer at the latest popular gay bar! Not... | |
| Best things 'in life' Hi Swamp- A Bishops Corner native now living on the shoreline. Still in W.Hart at least 2/3 times a month. I miss Schoeler's | |
| Technics 1200MKII or1210M5G? M5G worth it? All of the Technics tables from KAB have the hinged dustcover. TVAD you are correct, the only real upgrade is factory upgraded tonearm wire that is comparable to the Cardas wire. The MG5 also has a blue cuing light, instead of the white, variable ... | |
| Mbl 101 extemes. 2007 CES- very impressive looking... and then they started playing music. Pink Floyd- Money at ear splitting volume. You had to leave the room. They must use a nuclear reactor to power those things. It was so bad/loud that at no point could you ac... | |
| Leave solid state amps on? Or turn off everytime? Is there an electrical engineer out there who can shed some empirical information as to wether any damage/accessive wear can occur to ss gear being left on as opposed to on and off an a regular basis. Also, how would you compute the cost (per hour... | |
| amp and preamp... i'm getting close As far as bang for your $$- I have been running with a Bryston 4B (200+wpc) amp and a Conrad Johnson pv 10 tubed pre. The sound is glorious thru my speakers. You should be able to get both for under $1500- The CJ has awonderful phono section if yo... | |
| Technics 1200MKII or1210M5G? M5G worth it? Talk to Kevin at KAB.USA he is an athourity on these tables and will guide you in the right direction. I have the MG5 and am very happy with it. From what I understand the stock tonearm wiring is lacking at best so the Cardas wiring is a must. As ... | |
| Steam cleaning records 2 It's near the base, it is lit when the thermostat calls for the steamer to heat up. So it goes on and off as the need for steam is called for. It always goes on when first plugged in until the thermostat shuts it down. | |
| Totem The One vs. Usher "Tiny Dancer" Be 718 I'm trying to recall what I heard in Vince's room. There were several speakers from Totem and I listened to a few from the Rainmaker to, I believe was "The One" plus he had some floorstanders. I think they were powered by a pretty basic Naim Int a... | |
| Totem The One vs. Usher "Tiny Dancer" Be 718 Hi 9- I was at CES last year and Totem and Usher were in side by side rooms which gave me a good chance to practically a/b the 2 brands. The Usher Tiny Dancer was being highly hyped in their room and I felt it sounded pretty good but not great. It... | |
| Cable TV digital music I have had good results sending the cable signal "digital out" thru a digital coax to my Krell DAC and then to my pre amp, much better than directly from cable box rca out (analog)to pre amp. You should be able to run any digital cable box to a da... | |
| Steam cleaning records 2 There is a good example of steam cleaning records on YouTube.com.On another note, I was sent this message to my personal e-mail, I found it in one of my spam filters. TO: Zenblaster Z: Whatever you believe be sure , I am prepaired to take certian ... | |
| Steam cleaning records 2 Herman- I found your question(s) most valid, the attacks made in response. This is an open forum and the more ideas and people that participate the better it becomes. Sometimes these threads become a pulpit for prophets, again all good, an open fo... | |
| Burning CD from I-Tunes The answer to your question is no. If it is taking you 1/2 hour to burn 1 hour of music something is not right. When I am burning a cd in ITunes I can watch the burn speed and it is usually at least 8X speed. (1 hour cd would burn in about 7-8 min... | |
| Looking for a entry level audiophile turntable Put a KAB/Technics table on your list. Fully modded with a nice cartridge it should be close to the others you mentioned. A few bucks left over for isolation and a few new lp's and you might be very happy. KAB service is great and resale is best i... |
